@kezmusc I feel your pain - it all just gets on top of you sometimes and I don't think we have the same resilience that we did.
I'm shit at guitar, too. I started teaching myself a few years ago then stopped when life got busy. Tried again last year at the end of chemo and cried because I couldn't hold the picture of a chord in my head for 2 seconds and putting my arm over the box was really uncomfortable. Enter @arpie with her ukeleles! I'm still crap but I can have fun without the pain (and remember the chords for the whole session and even maybe, for next time). And they're even fashionable these days. My son just bought an electric guitar and I had some fun on that last night - before you know it - ROCK GODDESS!
Seriously, I do hope that you continue back to the light. Saying yes to things is good but maybe you need to find some quiet space and think about what you would like others to say yes to. Or maybe, the quiet space is what you need. Easy said, I know. Unfortunately, I can't suggest much about the rain or the money - both MIA here, too.
Take care
